Dycotrade Looking for Faster, Smarter Implementations
Dycotrade recently announced Peter Coussement as its new Chief Delivery Officer (CDO) and has also made another senior hire to be announced shortly in the role of Chief of Product & Technology. “We are strengthening the leadership team and preparing for the next step in the evolution of Dycotrade,” Rob Sanders told me. “We want to make sure that we can implement faster and smarter and build a more standardized product that guides customers toward the future of their business processes, fully utilizing the technical possibilities at their disposal.”
To that end, it is attempting to get a new logo recently added on the Dairy side in Canada implemented for ERP and CTRM in just 6-months. “It usually and historically has taken significantly longer,” he said. “The new leadership hires both come with bags of experience with large implementations at places like Cargill.” As the recent announcement regarding Peter Coussement states – “Peter has held pivotal roles at leading organizations such as Avanade, HSO, and Cargill, where he developed a proven track record of guiding complex projects and mentoring high-performing teams. His extensive experience in managing Dynamics D365 F&O delivery organizations, the world of commodity trading and strategic program management positions him well to lead DycoTrade’s delivery operations into its next phase of growth.”
The year has started brightly for Dycotrade with both that Dairy win and also a Cocoa company in Switzerland with both implementation projects starting up now. Rob sees the market as strong and sees a lot of demand emerging in metals specifically at the moment as well as dairy. In one instance, it is a replacement project, he told me.
Dycotrade has also released its latest version, Ben van der Laan told me. This has quite a lot of new functionality in several areas including things like demand driven FX where the solution will advise users what and where to hedge on currency. “Since we are close to the brokers and exchanges, this is now almost a completely automated process now and we see it as a strong piece of functionality to help manage risk,” he said. Other significant enhancements are included in the release.
Dycotrade is also ramping up its visibility. It will be holding a luncheon session at the Commodities People Commodity Trading Week Americas event in Stanford in mid-June this year as a part of its sponsorship of that event, Rob said. Expect to see Dycotrade a bit more at these sorts of events in the future.
